You’ll have to forgive me for not spreading the news of this fabulous free event before it actually happened but I didn’t receive news of it until late yesterday. After a meeting in town I decided to have a potter round rather than head back home to kill some time before the Feel Good photoshoot at the Sunderland Minster. I’d just grabbed a coffee when I received an email telling me there was an event on in Internacionale in Sunderland, so I headed along to check it out and I’m so glad I did. Internacionale had teamed up with Now…

A few weeks back the lovely people at TK Maxx contact me and asked me to take part in their style challenge to celebrate their new store opening in Eldon Square. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to the opening event but I’d heard and read amazing things so I didn’t need much of an excuse to go try out the new store! I enlisted the help of Amy and we headed through to Newcastle armed with a camera. This wasn’t just a TK Maxx style challenge though – I decided this needed to be a colour challenge. Since I normally…

The weather has been absolutely beautiful (compared to the snow) the past few days and to celebrate the sun I’ve been wearing my favourite wedge heels to run errands and dash to meetings in.

Since beginning to work with Sunderland Live and hearing more about the Feel Good Festival, I’ve been taking a much bigger interest in my health. So when I was contacted by the nice people at NBF and asked if I’d like to try some of their new protein flapjacks, I jumped at the chance. I opened the package that arrived the other morning at my parents house while having a coffee. I only managed to get a few snaps before my Mom had pinched one of the Cocoa Coconut bars and my Granddad had decided the oat raisin ones were…

If you follow me on twitter then no doubt you will have seen me tweeting and retweeting about Sunderland Live’s Feel Good Sunderland, a new festival helping celebrate the Sunderland City 10K race and Marathon of the North. April 27th will see a huge range of displays and demonstrations from some of the city’s best health, beauty and fitness related businesses. Hosted across three central venues; The Bridges, The Minster and Sunderland’s Museum & Winter Gardens, the festival promises to be a great day out for everyone. The official programme is soon to launch and I’ve heard on the grapevine…
